Here is another scanner that is 100% embedded in B4A. It wraps this Github project and will only scan QR Codes (it uses the ZXING engine for decoding scanned QR Codes). It will keep on reading QR codes for as long as what it finds a valid QR code. It is quite a "speedy" scanner. It does not require any other barcode scanner app to be installed on your device - it is 100% standalone. You can customize your B4A activity / UI by adding buttons, labels, panels, images, etc etc and change colors to your liking - 100% B4A customizable.
Note that a panel is the parent of the custom view but seeing that the original project extends Surface View it will punch a hole in the panel when the scanner starts.
Also note the permissions in the B4A project's manifest file (I know majority are redundant for this project).
You will have to handle consecutive / continuous scans of the same QR code within your B4A code.
Posting the following:
1. B4A project
2. B4A library files (3 x jar and 1 x xml) - copy them to your additional library folder.
EDIT: UPDATED LIBRARY FILES IN POST #6 THAT WILL NOT RAISE AN EVENT IN B4A IF TWO CONSECUTIVE SCANS OF THE SAME QR CODE OCCURS
Some sample code:
